Rep. Paul Luebke says he would have voted to expel Thomas Wright.
The Durham Democrat was one of five state representatives who had an excused absence from today's special session on Wright.
A professor at UNC-Greensboro, Luebke had an Introduction to Sociology course today. Under a signed agreement with the UNC Board of Governors, he cannot miss class to attend a special session or study commission meeting.
(During the regular session, Luebke takes an unpaid leave of absence.)
He said he would have voted to expel Wright based on what he's read in the Select Committee etc. etc. report on Wright. He would not have voted for censure.
"Of course, I don't know how the debate went, but I have the book," he told Dome. "The report makes a compelling case of flagrant violations of campaign finance law."

Re: Luebke would have expelled Wright
What? You mean he should have said BEFORE the House met? Do you mean to suggest you think the question was somehow CLOSE and that Luebke was just hunkered down hoping to dodge the big controversy until it was all over? Do you have any idea how little sense your comment makes?
